Man United XI vs Bournemouth: Predicted lineup and confirmed staff news

May 19, 2023 at 1:04 PM

United’s high scorer was absent final weekend for the win over Wolves and, regardless of returning to coaching this week, is now battling illness and will as soon as once more be absent on the Vitality Stadium.

However, there’s higher news for United, with Raphael Varane totally match and out there and Scott McTominay again in first-team coaching having missed the final six weeks with harm.

“So a positive, Varane definitely available,” Ten Hag stated on Friday.

“Scott joined in training, when we find training will go well he will be in.”

Should Rashford’s sickness rule him out, Alejandro Garnacho is pushing to return into the aspect for his first begin in additional than two months. The 18-year-old made his comeback from harm towards Wolves final outing, coming off the bench and scoring late on, and is an choice to exchange Jadon Sancho on the left wing.

Otherwise there are not any main surprises anticipated within the United lineup, as they appear to take one other step in direction of securing a top-four end. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will doubtless get the nod over Diogo Dalot at right-back once more, whereas Anthony Martial ought to preserve his place up entrance.

Marcel Sabitzer, Lisandro Martinez and Donny van de Beek all stay out and won’t return earlier than the tip of the season.
